| Description | English: This monumental altarpiece, signed and dated by the artist in Latin below the Virgin's throne, was once in the now ruined church of Sant'Andrea in Ferrara. In front are Saint Michael, standing on a dragon and weighing human souls (as he will do it at the Last Judgment), and Saint John the Baptist. Behind these stand Saints Catherine of Alexandria and Jerome. Mary's role as a symbol of the Christian Church is emphasized by her placement at the center of a temple-like building that opens up to a beautiful landscape. The simple and harmonious style of the painting was a means of expressing devotion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
